Anybody got any good idea for a dad that has every tool know to man, and doesn't watch any sports? I usually end up getting a Gift Card for him to go out and eat but have done that for his Birthday and Christmas the Past 3 years. Feel like I need to do something else for him.

I too need nothing from my Family... Because, If I need it. I buy it.
So, I direct my them to give me T-Shirts, Underwear, and Socks.
I can always use them.
Just a thought, Jim

Pocketknives &/or flashlights. If he loves tools, a nice Victorinox(or Wenger) Swiss Army knife should be a hit.(Scissors!) Modern LED flashilghts are amazingly bright & come in all sizes, prices & shapes.
Best, of course, is for him to tell you what he wants. But if he doesn't- see above.

For the man who has everything a framed 8x10 family portrait would be best.
Food is really the best bet in this case. A bag of pistachios is the best thing I can get my dad. It's pointless to try to buy him anything else.
You give him a gift card so he can go eat? For crying out loud-if you're going to do that take him out to eat so you can enjoy the time with him.
It's a pretty safe bet that any gift that involves the two of you doing something together would be far more appreciated than a gift card.
You can also consider spending the holiday with him and do something positive for someone else together. My wife and I spend almost every holiday doing volunteer work together with our therapy dogs, and it's the best gift we can give to one another. Not only do we get to spend time together, but we're both richly rewarded by doing something positive for people less fortunate. We stopped giving each other material gifts many years ago because this is far more gratifying.

I bought my dad one of these. I bought one for myself, too. I've talked to quite a few people, and they all love them. I even looked at different reviews, and they are all mostly good. Pretty good price at $69, plus it ships free.

Giving gifts to parents is very difficult. One year our son gave Tony a day bass fishing with a guide for the 2 of them. They spent 4 days of fishing after the day with the guide. That gift was the greatest thing ever for him. Whenever he talked about that trip you could hear the love and excitement in his voice. It was always when he and "his son" spent a week fishing. Our son really does not like to fish.
One of the gifts my Dad enjoyed most, ever, was an assortment of imported beers we bought him. He wasn't particularly a drinker, especially of beer, but the possibility of exploring something new which he hadn't even been aware of completely made his Christmas.
